    Mr. WA competition returns

    On Friday March 30th, a group of boys from the class of 2012 will partake in an anticipated talent show. This group will compete for the title of Mr. WA, a title that has not been held since 2007.

    The event started back in 2004 and did very well for a number of years. It was used as a fundraising event for the varsity cheerleaders. Since 2007 it has lost interest, but now it is back by popular demand.

    There will be a total of fifteen participants including Joe Royal, Reed Peraner, Dylan McCusker, Kyle Boyd and Kyle Russo to name a few. Royal explained why he chose to participate in this event and what he is bringing to the table.

    “It seemed like a great fundraiser and I get to be with a lot of other great participants,” said Royal. “And I get to do something that I love, which is singing.”

    In order for a senior to participate in this event, an application was required to be involved. There were two questions on the application: what skills or talents the participant possessed and why they believe they could be Mr. WA. This event is more of a talent competition than a pageant.

    “It is not based on looks, rather it will be based on personality and talent,” said guidance counselor and event coordinator Betsy Murphy.

    The actual competition will consist of the talent show as well as a tuxedo showcase. This year contestants will adorn tuxedos donated by the Nashua Tux Shop to showcase the variety of tuxedos the shop has to offer. This will serve as a means to advertise their attire for the upcoming prom season.

    The class of 2013 will sponsor the competition. The group will also sponsor the event next year and then pass the torch onto another group.

    “In the past, it has been a great time,” said Murphy. “The event brought many different people out to see the guys before they graduate.”

    Who will become the next Mr. WA? Only time will tell.
